Comments on: The Uprising: Taking the NAFTA Fight to Fox – and to McCain http://firedoglake.com/2008/06/22/the-uprising-taking-the-nafta-fight-to-fox-and-to-mccain/ Firedoglake weblog Sat, 18 Feb 2012 04:55:09 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: cando http://firedoglake.com/2008/06/22/the-uprising-taking-the-nafta-fight-to-fox-and-to-mccain/#comment-1509755 cando Mon, 23 Jun 2008 03:53:54 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/2008/06/22/the-uprising-taking-the-nafta-fight-to-fox-and-to-mccain/#comment-1509755 <p>One of the things I worry about is that Obama has hooked up with the same people who helped Bill Clinton make the financial sector of the economy too large and much too controlling. With assistance from folks like Phil Gramm at just the wrong time it also was de-regulated. I’m hoping Obama finds a different kind of economist, someone like the person who wrote The Squandering of America (can’t remember his name just now). Kevin Phillips has also laid out how serious the problem in Bad Money.</p> One of the things I worry about is that Obama has hooked up with the same people who helped Bill Clinton make the financial sector of the economy too large and much too controlling.

It would assure Ohio, he is a true progressive, particularly on fair trade and economic justice. And his wife is a great person.</p> I think Sherrod Brown would be an excellent VP choice.

“Your facts don’t agree with my talking points, David. And don’t interrupt when I’m talking over you.”

My bad. I should have put a snark tag after the snarky quote. I was just giving the short version of Cavuto.

I have a standard for Alan Dershowitz, “I’m right and if you disagree with anything I say you’re anti-Semitic.”

Let’s start with Kathleen Parker who often shows up both in the newspaper and on Chris Matthews…a snarky airhead who hints at racist comments. Get the net. Who’s next? Laura Ingraham has some pinch hitters who sound brainless and rude. They are pretty easily ignored unless you hit the button at the wrong time.</p> I missed that, but may be we can make of list of the ones who should go.
